 |
|
After switching from OpenRC to Systemd I have some problems with minidlna.
If I start it the pid-file is not created. If I start a movie from my TV the service is disabled.
This is the output of the status after starting:
| Code: | zaphodbeeblebrox system # sudo systemctl status minidlna.service
● minidlna.service - MiniDLNA is a DLNA/UPnP-AV server software
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service; enabled)
Active: activating (start) since za 2014-07-19 21:34:04 CEST; 37s ago
Process: 23859 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/minidlnad -f /etc/minidlna.conf -P /var/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CGroup: /system.slice/minidlna.service
└─23860 /usr/sbin/minidlnad -f /etc/minidlna.conf -P /var/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid
jul 19 21:34:04 zaphodbeeblebrox.elmarotter.eu systemd[1]: PID file /var/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
|
And this after failing:
| Code: |
zaphodbeeblebrox run # sudo systemctl status minidlna.service
● minidlna.service - MiniDLNA is a DLNA/UPnP-AV server software
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: timeout) since za 2014-07-19 21:35:34 CEST; 1min 40s ago
Process: 23859 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/minidlnad -f /etc/minidlna.conf -P /var/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

| It seems that the script is not able to create a directory on /run/. After I added the directory /var/minidlna and gave it the right permissions it works. But still it is strange that systemctl doesn't seem to have write permissions. |

This does only tempory fix the problem. After reboot I have make the directory all over again. So it won't start on boot. 
Has anyone a sullution or know where to file a bug or where a bug is already be filed about this? |

| Doing some testing, I see minidlna starts and works for a while (systemd says it's starting), but after a minute or so it looks like systemd kills it and says "failed"... |

as a work around
I have created a bashrc entry that creates the directories(chmods them) and then starts the minidlna service manually(systemctl start)
that's not a solution, but it'll get things going till your problem is fixed |

I have added a local script to start MiniDNLA:
| Code: |
elmarotter@zaphodbeeblebrox /etc/systemd/system $ cat minidlna-local.service
[Unit]
Description=MiniDLNA is a DLNA/UPnP-AV server software
After=syslog.target local-fs.target network.target
[Service]
User=minidlna
Group=minidlna
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/minidlnad -f /etc/minidlna.conf
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
